Honey Glazed Spicy Chicken Thighs recipe

Last nights dinner was “Tween’s Choice”.  She’s been working really hard for her Basketball team so on late nights she usually gets to choose what we have for dinner.  Last night she picked Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs (her all time fave).  This recipe is super easy to make and tastes like you worked at it all day.  You can either make it with the skin on or off.  The picture is off my plate, which was broiled with no skin.  The kids need the calories, not me.  🙂

Ingredients you’ll need

  • Chicken Thighs, bone in
  • Spices: kosher salt , ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and crushed red pepper flakes
  • Honey

    Made this for dinner tonight, even made the same sides. My husband couldn’t get enough of it! Loved it! Everyone else ate it without complaint, which in my house is a miracle!! Thanks for another recipe to add to my rotation.

    @City Share I love the spice combo on Pork Tenderloin too. Then mix some apricot jam and bbq sauce and heat it up, pour it over when you serve…oh my goodness…delicious! I hope you enjoy! Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

    That looks gorgeous. The spice combination sounds delcious. I have never tried making chicken under the broiler before. I have some chicken legs in the fridge for tonight. Maybe I’ll give it a try.
